Top 10 countries with the longest living people in the world
Monaco is famous for its high-end casinos, yachts dotting the harbor and the world-famous Grand Prix racing through the streets every year. This principality, close to France, is also known for its high life expectancy. In 2016, the average life expectancy of Monaco residents was 89.5 years. With the highest number of millionaires and billionaires per capita in the world, this is one of the richest countries in the world, prosperity can affect life expectancy. However, according to experts, one of the important reasons that Monaco has achieved such a feat is the Mediterranean diet. According to Goldencharter, due to its proximity to the sea, seafood is a very important part of the diet of Monaco residents. They also eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, dishes prepared in French and Italian culinary styles. In addition to a healthy diet, Monaco's high-quality state-supported healthcare system and its citizens' good income levels have helped increase life expectancy. According to Thanh Nien, the ranking of the 10 countries/territories with the longest-lived people in the world is based on data from the United Nations and according to research, a small European country has the longest-living population in the world, according to express.co.uk.
